Diamond cut refers to how well-proportioned the diamond’s dimensions, symmetry, and polish are.

Girdle is the thin perimeter of a diamond, dividing the crown above from the pavilion below.

A diamond certificate, also known as a diamond grading report, is an easily understood document prepared by an expert gemologist that describes the key characteristics of a diamond.

A diamond’s polish and symmetry are key elements of a diamond’s cut and have a huge impact on a diamond’s sparkle.

When these two features are proportioned just right, a diamond of any size will look spectacular.

The crown angle, pavilion depth and angle of a diamond can all make a big difference in the end result of a diamond’s appearance, creating either a sparkling wonder or a dull stone.
